Communities Unite to Support Mollie and Kristene
A vigil was held in New York City’s Union Square Park on Sunday for Texas teens Mollie Olgin and Mary Kristene Chapa, who were shot execution style in Portland, Texas in late June. Mollie, 19, was pronounced dead on the scene and 18-year-old Kristene, her girlfriend of five months, is recovering in intensive care. The Chapa family is receiving donations through WePay to cover their daughter’s medical costs, as Mr. Chapa, an Iraq war veteran, is between jobs and the family is uninsured.
